According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 14,000 visited an emergency room in 2014 because of fireworks injuries.

WLWT News 5 spoke with Fire Captain Justin Saner from Campbell County Fire District about the biggest problem with at home fireworks.

“You can really hurt somebody by not thinking things through, not paying attention, not using common sense. Common sense is your biggest factor when it comes to fire safety and fireworks safety,“ Saner said.

Here are some reminders:

When buying fireworks, only buy from reliable sellers.

Make sure packaging has not been tampered with.

Follow local laws about buying and selling fireworks.

When igniting fireworks, always use long stick matches, not lighters or cigarettes. Have water handy in a bucket or hose.

Always dispose of fireworks by soaking them in water.

Never try to relight “dud” fireworks.

Always find a safe location, on a flat surface, away from people and combustibles.
